A Public Toilet With A Shimmering Facade

Revolutionizing the public restroom, architects Gramazio & Kohler, have created fascinating works of art throughout the city park in Uster Switzerland. These beautifully designed public restrooms are made from of 295 bright green, laser-cut, aluminum strips, folded and designed to create a shimmering facade that changes depending on sun angle and the observers’ perspective. These innovative lavs add an element of urban design to the common public restroom.
